Keloid and Hypertrophic scar treatment

What happens during Keloid and Hypertrophic scar treatment ?

No single therapeutic modality is best for all keloids. The location, size, and depth of the lesion; the age of the patient; and the past response to treatment determine the type of therapy used.

Prevention is key, but the therapeutic treatment of an existing hypertrophic scar or keloid includes occlusive dressings, compression therapy, intralesional corticosteroid injections, cryosurgery, excision, radiation therapy, laser therapy, interferon (IFN) therapy, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), doxorubicin, bleomycin, verapamil, retinoic acid, imiquimod 5% cream, tamoxifen, tacrolimus, botulinum toxin, hydrogel scaffold, and over-the-counter treatments (eg, onion extract; the combination of hydrocortisone, silicon, and vitamin E). These therapies have been used to reduce the rate of keloid recurrence after surgical excision, with superficial radiation therapy being the most effective

Keloid and Hypertrophic Scar Treatment

Keloids and hypertrophic scars are raised, thickened areas of skin that form after an injury or surgery. At Dermiq, we are renowned for providing the best treatment for keloids in Hyderabad.

With a personalized approach and the latest technology, Dermiq offers highly effective solutions that help patients achieve smoother, more natural-looking skin.

Keloid Symptoms

• Raised, thickened skin over the original wound.
• Itchy or tender areas that may cause discomfort.
• Gradual growth beyond the boundaries of the initial injury.
• A smooth, shiny, or rubbery texture.
• Pink, red, or darker pigmentation compared to surrounding skin.

Keloid Causes

• Genetics: A family history of keloids increases the likelihood of developing them.
• Skin Injuries: Cuts, burns, piercings, or surgical incisions can lead to keloid formation.
• Inflammation or Infections: Acne, chickenpox scars, and other skin inflammations may trigger keloids.
• Excessive Collagen Production: An overproduction of collagen during the healing process causes the scar tissue to grow excessively.
• Delayed Wound Healing: Slow or incomplete healing can result in thicker, more prominent scars.

Laser treatment for keloids

Laser treatment is a highly effective method for managing keloids, focusing on reducing their raised appearance and improving the overall texture. This procedure uses precise light energy to target excess scar tissue, encouraging a smoother, more even skin surface. At Dermiq in Hyderabad, we specialize in offering safe, reliable laser treatments to help patients achieve healthier-looking skin.
